Introduction

Overview of the EduTec Backend system for educational administration

Welcome to EduTec Backend

EduTec is a comprehensive backend system for educational administration, designed to provide a secure and reliable foundation for managing students, teachers, and administrative operations in educational institutions.

EduTec is currently in active development as an academic project focused on building modern educational applications with enterprise-grade technology.

What is EduTec?

EduTec Backend is a Spring Boot-based REST API that serves as the core system for a full-featured educational portal. It handles authentication, data management, and secure communication between the frontend and database layers.

Who is it for?

EduTec Backend is designed to serve three primary user roles:

Students

Access course enrollment, view grades, and manage academic information

Teachers

Manage course content, grade students, and communicate with administration

Administrators

Oversee system operations, manage users, and maintain academic records

Key Features

Current Features

• JWT Authentication: Secure token-based authentication system for user login
• User Management: Complete user model with database persistence
• REST API: Clean and well-documented RESTful endpoints
• MySQL Integration: Robust data storage with Spring Data JPA

In Development

The following features are actively being developed:

• User Registration: Complete registration workflow for new users
• Enrollment System: Course enrollment management for students
• Grade Consultation: Academic performance tracking and reporting
• Role-Based Access Control: Fine-grained permission system for different user types
